University Freshers

[lankybob]

Possibly the wrong place to post this and will don my flame-proof suit but as a uni fresher i have been put in a flat with 4 other guys.
The problem i am having is that all these guy ever do is sit in their rooms with the doors shut on their own. I have tried everything to try and get them out and make friends but they seem happier on their own. I suppose i could go to the SU on my tod but I'm not really up for that.
Anyone here got any good ideas on how to psych them up and go out partying?

Go on your own, quick before you miss all the action. Everyones up for making friends that first week, don't miss out because you got lumbered with home boys.

Perhaps they're all homesick already and are on Skype or somesuch telling their parents all that's been going on. It's a big thing moving away from home for some students.

Go out, Get trashed. You'll meet some people.

Freshers girls are easy

[soad]

Get out there, they'll came round too with time, no? Can't be that miserable?

Get out of the flat; go to the SU, join a sports club or society, get together with the folk doing the same course as you. What did you do during Freshers' Week if you weren't out doing all the above, getting pissed at socials, and meeting new people you don't like?

Probably best to stay in during freshers week, most blokes end up with some really rough old dogs and spend the next few years trying to avoid them.

I've heard.

Penny, unless you're a triple bagger, the boys are ALWAYS easy. It's the way we're wired.

As the saying goes, 'I feel a little Fresher every year.'

When I started Uni, the Students Union had a welcome desk at the railway station with friendly banner proclaiming "Bradford University Welcomes Freshers" or something. Within an hour, one of the old hands had changed it to "fk OFF AND DIE, SCHOOLIES!"

[hyperblue]

I had a similar problem in my first week, just get out and about, try and meet other people in your halls/sports teams/course etc. Some people are just boring

During Fresher's week you can pretty much walk up to any group of people and start talking to them, they're all in the same boat! Plus conversation is easy with people you've never met

Most of my best friends at Uni were from conversations over pints in the bar. The people in my block in the halls of residence were pretty much all swats! Get out now!!!!

Ahh but they still have some pennies in their pockets, which makes it more fun

Dissapointing thread content given the title.

lankybob - go out and go out now. Do not read the end of this sentence.

Freshers week is one of the best weeks of your life, don't be a sad case, go out and insert beer!

[Alex]

Repeat after me: "Where are you from? What course are you on?"

Boys are generally easy.
